I cannot believe the excuse for why shift-left QA is “not working” is that Amazon hires developers who can’t learn basic testing skills that QA engineers picked up in three months. If developers can’t write valid code for tests, that’s on t

You can easily build your own clear, simple DSL with Minitest, Pytest, or JUnit - no overthinking needed. Engineers can whip up more readable and reliable tests quickly. Since only engineers are writing tests, there's no need for unnec

Some time back, I was tasked with sharing my thoughts on sustaining an out-staffed venture with outsourced cartage services and onboarding 200 to 400 developers within 3 years. What started as a blog post has now evolved into a novel-like n

Great story, nicely written. The goal is to show off ;) But really nice to read. Definitely, this is a bad example and precedent to build toxic and non-cooperative environments. And instead of solving the issue it make it worth.
